LONDON -- After many months of struggling to think of something that didn't have the words "Top" or "Gear" in it, the former hosts of Top Gear have finally settled on a title for their new show.

Clarkson, Hammond and May took to Twitter on Wednesday to make the announcement and share their new Facebook page.

As the suspense built, people chipped in with last minute guesses.

Finally, the announcement came. 





Separating it from Top Gear, GT will be presented from inside a tent. And each episode will be filmed in a different country around the world.

"It’s a sort of ‘grand tour’, if you like. So we’ve decided to call it The Grand Tour,” Clarkson told The Guardian.

The Grand Tour will be available on Amazon Prime this August.
